Past Program Highlights

A few of the Schools/Groups we have recently worked with:

Eastham Committee on Early Childhood (out of Eastham Elementary School)

The Partnership School (In Orleans, MA)

Summer 2017

WE HAD A GREAT FIRST SUMMER ON CAPE COD AND CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!

The Partnership School of Cape Cod

We ran our Plankton and Plastics in-school program with a strong emphasis on water quality for this elementary school in Orleans, MA. Students ran various water quality experiments on a water sample from Town Cove (a local estuary) and submitted their results to the EarthEco Water Challenge! After taking their lab coats off the students put on their smocks and designed their own plankton to help advocate for the ocean. The morning was full off marine science, art and advocacy!

Thacher Montessori

We ran a five week after school program at the Thacher Montessori school in Milton, MA in late fall of 2016. The program focused on Plankton, Plastics and the Power of Music! Students created their own estuary in a jar, wrote their own song and got to look at microfibers under a microscope. Ages ranged from 6-10.

Estuary in a Jar

The students had the opportunity to make their own "Estuary in a Jar" after they learned what makes up an estuary!

Bookmarks

Each students designed their own advocacy bookmark on watercolor paper to bring home and share with their family and friends. Small art projects are a great way to share an ocean story!

Example Bookmark

One of the great designs made by an Thacher student.
